Show/Hide Security Tab in Windows 10

Using Windows Registry

Open the registry of your system by typing “regedit.exe" in Run window. And go to following directory
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Policies\Explorer


When you open it, in right window you’ll see the “NoSecurityTab" change its value to 1 by modifying it. And refresh your window. And here you go. Security tabs from each folder will hide from every one.

Whenever you want to show it again, again go to same registry path and set its value to 0 again, the security tab will be visible again.


Using Group Policy Editor

You can also show/hide “Security" tab through Group Policy editor. Open the “Local Group Policy editor" by writing it in Start Menu. Then open the first result it gives you on typing.
Now open the User Configuration\Administrative Tools\Windows Components\File Explorer and double click on it, now open Remove Security Tab from right hand side window.


When you open “Remove Security Tab", there is 3 options: not configured, enable and disable.
If you want to remove Security Tab, select the “enable" and if don’t then press on “disable".

After selecting any option press “OK" and your settings will be changed. This is another easy and simple way to hide/show Security tab.
